Complete details on this event will be posted in August. With the pent-up demand for all things “outside” this notice is designed to give those who plan to attend and early opportunity to book lodging or camp sights.

A couple of quick notes ……
* There is no formal registration process (we don’t require attendees to purchase anything other than park permits).
* We don’t inspect your vehicle (it’s up to you to make sure it’s up to the task )
* This is a “family friendly” event (your spouse, kids and well behaved pets are welcomed).
* Owning a 70 Series IS NOT REQUIRED to attend however owning a Land Cruiser is.
…….. MORE INFO TO FOLLOW ……..

Charles,
So you invite and remind the Upstate chapter and the Ole North chapter, but by-pass the Low Country chapter ... Is there an entertaining story behind this line of actions? Thanks

Very entertaining …..
Last year I listed our event in every club section within a reasonable distance of East Tennessee only to be told by one of our friendly moderators that I was “spamming”. This year I sent dozens of request to the individual club moderators asking permission to post in their club‘s sections. If a club didn’t have a moderator or the moderator didn’t answer, I didn’t post. I didn’t intend to omit any club but I’m trying to play by the rules.
Hopefully that answers your question.

** The event is listed on ‘MUD, Facebook, the TLCA and even on a neighborhood light pole below the missing cat poster. I’m trying my best to make sure all of the bases are covered.

The majority of this information has been covered in the thread but here are the cliff notes.…….

* We don’t have a registration period and there are no tickets to be purchased.
* The only known expense is a park pass from Windrock.
* We don’t have automobile inspections (it’s up to you to make sure your Land Cruiser is up to the task).
* Windrock offers both cabins and camping areas although the cabins may already be booked.
* For the group that arrives on Thursday, which is normally the majority, we plan to meet at a restaurant in nearby Oak Ridge.
* We routinely depart the Windrock parking lot at 9:00am both Friday and Saturday mornings. (You will need to have purchased your park permits PRIOR to 9:00am).
* The communication of choice will most likely be GMRS. (on a side note, once in the mountains, your cell phone is basically a paper weight due to spotty coverage.
* Recognizing that we have attendees with little to no off-road experience while others only like the hard stuff, we offer different trails that cater to your level of experience.
* Much like the majority of other organized events you’ll be required to sign a liability waiver.
